While it is good for night use/going out, I would think that if applied correctly it would make a very good work scent as well. Heck, I am even bringing it back to Malaysia in a couple of weeks' time to be used in the heat there! Will see how that goes eh haha.

Finally caved in. I was at the store for a long time after trying the tester, sniffing through the lipstick opening (which was much better than I remembered it being) until I got to the "chocolate-covered iris" that some say was there, and I fell in love. Just goes to show that you should never judge a fragrance on the first sniff. I was also pleasantly surprised when I bought the box home - it was the original formulation!

Also:

For a mere $65 for the 2.5oz. Now I wonder if I should just open it up and keep it or leave it sealed and try to sell it somewhere. Tough choice. This is the rarest fragrance I own now.
